Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted May 6, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) It’s official, we’re bringing out a beer in collaboration with Flash House Brewery. Grapp’Ale should be out by the end of June/start of July. Looking at a nice crisp and sessionable pale ale, aiming for between 4.7- 5.0%. Keg and bottle.

Statto Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 If it drinks as good as that label looks, you're on to a winner. Beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s hoping so. They know what they’re doing which is good. I’ll be discussing hops etc with them soon, can’t wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted May 23, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 23, 2018 Aye up! Last update before the next event: The remaining few tickets (10-20 left before total capacity) for our Ryton Retro games event are available. Anyone who buys a ticket online is entered in to a prize draw to win a brand new table top arcade machine worth £650. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ryton-retro-retro-gaming-event-tickets-44599467207 Also, I’ve finally expanded the Grapple Arcade team. We’ve been busy with magazine interviews and podcast chatter in general. In a nutshell and if it’s of interest: We interviewed Ryton Retro about the upcoming event for VultureHound: http://vulturehound.co.uk/2018/05/ryton-retro-games-event/ We reviewed SmackDown! 2 on the PS1 as part of our new regular feature (retro wrestling game reviews) http://vulturehound.co.uk/2018/05/smackdown-2-know-your-role/ We chatted with NARC magazine about our top 5 wrestling games: http://narcmagazine.com/feature-grapple-arcades-five-favourite-video-games/ We ran a poll with the Broken But Glorious Pod team and discussed the publics top 5 wrestling games (Spotify pod): https://t.co/pJjjOvpPOM?amp=1 We discussed Wrestling games in general with the 2bit podcast team: ... and last but not least the CWrestling UK team randomly knocked up a little promo vid, which was very kind of them.  Finally, I’ll be running a competition soon, so I’ll be back on here asking for you to get involved (and designing). Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted June 1, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted June 1, 2018 Will hope to get there around 9ish on Tuesday. All being well I’ll be able to drag a couple of others along too - especially if they’re still doing food at that time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted June 2, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 2, 2018 Sweet. Might be the last time we run it in this venue on a week night. Planning to move to a Saturday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted July 19, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) I’m knackered. So it’s been a very busy few weeks. Grapple Arcade has featured at quite a lot of events and we have 1 more to go this week, before a couple of weeks off. So without further ado... ** Beer Launch** This Friday (20th July) from 7.00pm MOONSALT will be on keg and bottle at its official launch at The Town Mouse in Newcastle. As with any Grapple Arcade event, retro consoles will be set up with a selection of classic wrestling games. Hope to see some of you there.  Edited July 19, 2018 by Kaz Hayashi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
